golden club

Golden Clubs require daily watering, though they can tolerate minor fluctuations in moisture levels. The soil should never be soggy or overly wet; it should remain moist at all times, even in the winter season. An ideal way to water Golden Clubs is to water them deeply and slowly once a week, providing enough water so that it can penetrate the roots. Make sure that you wait until the top few inches of soil have completely dried out before watering again.

Golden club (Orontium aquaticum) is a sun-loving aquatic perennial plant native to the eastern United States. This species requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive, but it can tolerate some shade during particularly hot hours of the day. It is important to note that intense direct sunlight (especially in summer months when the sun is at its strongest) can burn the delicate foliage of the plant. Therefore, it is generally advised to provide a mix of full sun and partial shade for this species. Golden club is best suited to receive direct sunlight during the hours of 10am-4pm.

Pruning for golden club is best done in late spring, as it is a slow grower and pruning too early or too late may cause damage to its fragile leaves and stems. Start pruning when only 2 or 3 leaves have fully expanded. Remove only the top 2 to 3 inches of the stem. Pruning too much may cause the plant to become lanky and sparse. Rejuvenate older plants by cutting them back hard in late spring, within 2 inches of the crown of the plant. This will stimulate increased branching and more vigorous growth for the plant.
